SALEM, MA — Salem can expect up to an estimated $36 million in payments from the recently passed American Rescue Plan over the next two years, according to Mayor Kim Driscoll and the Massachusetts Municipal Association.
Driscoll's office said the MMA estimates the city will get more than $27 million in municipal assistance, plus an additional estimated $8.4 million in funding ticketed for the Essex County government, which was allocated substantial relief money even though it was abolished in 1999.
